Hmm - most communication round here seems to be by bean cans on string or similar. But yes, no doubt the local geeks have sniffed out the odd open network hotspot....
MAC address seems to be the thing. The Voyager 2000 also has a 'stateful firewall'. In English, please?
Is it necessary to fit an ASDL microfilter to very phone socket in BEagle Towers? Or just to the socket which the Voyager 2000 will use? It will probably share that with the DECT base station - is that likely to cause any problems?
It seems that the house will soon be fairly buzzing with RF - DECT, GPRS, WLAN and the external RF modulator which routes a DVD feed to the kitchen TV. (And no, it doesn't defeat Macrovision encoding before you ask!).
Blacksheep's tale reminds me of the case where someone bought an illegal-in-the-UK cordless phone (one of the old HF/VHF analogue things). Someone else realised this and bought themselves a similar set, then parked up near the other one and made several expensive long-distance calls. Of course the chap could hardly complain to BT when the bill came in, could he.........
